Development of Subscale Fast Cookoff Test

Abstract

A propane-fueled combustor was built to support the development of an alternate to the external fire test currently required for final Hazards Classification (HC). The device has the capability to provide a controlled heat flux environment of 40-400 kW/sq m (12,600- 126,000 Btu/hr/sq ft). This results in a repeatable and quantifiable environment for the evaluation of the fast cook-off response of an ordnance item.
